NPRA ’11: Debottlenecking next step for PetroLogistics C3 plant

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (ICIS)--PetroLogistics could add "significant" capacity to its new on-purpose propylene plant in Houston by removing bottlenecks, the chief executive said on Sunday.

New plants typically have bottlenecks, said Nathan Ticatch, president of PetroLogistics.

Once producers remove those bottlenecks, they discover new ones, hence allowing them other opportunities to increase capacity further, said Hank Jeans, senior vice president, commercial, for PetroLogistics.
